Sometimes figuring out how to structure an email so people won't ignore it is tough. If you're struggling with how to do this, Harvard Business Review suggests you lay out your emails much like a story with a clear chronology of events.
One reason people might not want to respond (or read) your email is that it's a bunch of unorganized information. The easiest way to make it more readable is to structure it like a simple story:
When a serious dispute arises at a company, the lawyers will typically ask their clients to produce a "chronology of relevant events," detailing the most important incidents leading up to the dispute. This document helps everyone involved think more clearly about how things unfolded. Try taking a similar approach when writing your e-mails. It will help you organize your thoughts into a coherent narrative. A story with a clear beginning, middle, and end will hold your readers' interest more effectively than jumbled facts interspersed with opinions.
It's simple advice, but if you're having a hard time organizing your thoughts in an email it's an approach that cuts out the fluff and gets to the point quickly. Head over to Harvard Business Review for a few more ways to improve your email writing.
